Pastor’s Message: What God’s Word Says About Issues That Face Us
Greetings!
October is here and Fall has arrived. The days are cooler, the leaves are beginning to change and sweater weather is on the way. During October I will be preaching on some issues that I wanted to share with you and express why I have chosen to do this. To begin with, I am mindful […]
Pastor’s Message: The Legacy Continues
Greetings!
Lately, I have been thinking about what a blessed church we are. We recently announced and celebrated the Sustaining the Legacy Campaign Pledges that we received.

Pastor’s Message: Healing for your Heart
Greetings!
It’s hard to believe that it is August already, the summer is nearly spent with school and Fall activities right around the corner. To be honest, I am ready for some nice Fall weather!

Pastor’s Message: Planting for the Future
Greetings!

Pastor’s Message: How Long Until We Protect the Most Vulnerable?
Dear Friends,
I have struggled with writing this, partly because my heart is so heavy after the senseless death of 19 children and two of their teachers. I wonder, how long O Lord, until we take real measures to protect the most vulnerable among us. I cannot even imagine living through this horrific loss of a […]
Pastor’s Message: PRESS Forward
Greetings Everyone!
Here we are at the month of May already. As I am writing this it is pouring rain outside. Oh wait, now it’s not…..ok, it started again…oh and I just stepped out and it is sleeting. Feels like November. Just when we thought Spring had arrived with a couple of 70 degree days, it […]

Pastor’s Message: New Life in Christ
Greetings!
This month we celebrate Easter, the most important Church holiday of the year. It’s the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as being raised to new life in Him!

Pastor’s Message: Appreciating God’s Gifts in the Face of Tragedy
Greetings! As I contemplate these cloudy days, sometimes I am struck by what seems to be a cloudiness of soul. There is so much that concerns all of us in this day and time as we still struggle with the pandemic, as we see natural disasters become more frequent, as we see our country struggle […]
Pastor’s Message: Nothing Will Separate Us from the Love of God
Happy New Year!
Christmas felt like it came up on us quickly and was over very quickly. I hope you had a blessed holiday season that brought you joy and contentment.
